I thought Bowyer should have left David Dunn on too because his passion and hatred of Burnley is second to none, and he nearly engineered a second goal for Rovers when he sent Jordan Rhodes clear, only for him to hit the upright.

That would have made it 2-0 for him and for Rovers. For the first time in years we had a lucky break.

It could well be the last time this famous derby is played for a while if we go on and get automatic promotion and Rovers miss out on the play-offs.

Finally, I was very pleased when all the Burnley supporters remembered Henry Tattersall with a minute’s applause in the 13th minute, and went on to back the Clarets vocally. They were superb for the 90-plus minutes.

I congratulate them for their support, and good behaviour, and ask them all to keep it up for the rest of the season.
